Join us for the Weld County Junior Livestock Sale on July 29, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. in the Event Center at Island Grove Park in Greeley, Colorado.
Would you like to support a sale qualifier, but don't want to buy the entire animal? The add-on program allows you to do just that. Using the Add-On Sheet (coming soon), all you need to do is identify the exhibitor(s) you want to help and place an "Add-On" of any amount. To send the form back please mail to weldjrsale@gmail.com and your contribution will be added to their total. Note: Only Sale Qualifiers are eligible for Add-Ons.
The Weld County Junior Livestock Sale is an annual event held at the culmination of the Weld County Fair. The top 245 animals nominated for the sale are eligible for the sale, including all Grand and Reserve Grand Champions in each of the seven species. Buyers may bid on animals outright or support several members by giving an "add-on", which is money added onto the sale of any animal. Buyers also have the option of donating the meat from the animal to the Weld County Food Bank. The 2023 Sale order will include the following species: Lambs, Rabbits, Beef, Chickens (Dependent on HPAI), Swine, Goats and Turkeys (Dependent on HPAI).
All buyers please join us for our Sale Dinner starting at 2:00 p.m. in the Event Center.
In 2022 the Weld County Junior Livestock Sale raised $1,571,924.00 including all add-on's for the Weld County 4-H and FFA youth who participated in the program.
